How to Watch LA Dodgers Live Online Blackout Free
The MLB season is the most prestigious baseball league in the world. Although 30 of the best teams in the world compete in it, we all know that one stands out and it’s most likely everyone’s favorite, the LA Dodgers. Every Dodgers’ fan tune in when their team is playing, other than that, they just let the MLB season pass. That’s why I made this guide today to show you how to stream every LA Dodgers game live online without blackouts.
How to Watch LA Dodgers Live Online Blackout Free
MLB and Blackouts
Have you ever encountered a blackout while streaming an MLB match? If not, let me explain to you what it is. Blackouts occur when a major TV provider has the rights to air the game on television. As a result, streaming services including MLB.tv won’t be able to show the game online as it is being broadcasted on live TV. That’s pretty unfortunate especially for cord cutters who stream their MLB matches online living in a region where blackouts occur frequently.
You’ll be getting messages informing you that your game has been blacked out. The errors will be as such:
- “Due to Major League Baseball exclusivities, live games occurring each Saturday with a scheduled start time after 1:10 PM ET or before 8:00 PM ET and each Sunday with a scheduled start time after 5:00 PM ET, will be blacked out in the United States.”
- “We’re sorry. We have determined that you are located inside one of the applicable Club’s home television territories and are therefore blacked out of watching the game you selected. Live Audio of this game is available as part of your MLB.TV subscription.”
According to MLB.tv, your game will be available for streaming 90 minutes after the match has ended on TV. But who wants that? Why would we miss a Dodgers game when we can watch it live?
LA Dodgers Live Online – What Are the Channels?
Dodger fans, you’re in luck when it comes to streaming your team’s matches. There are a plethora of services that allow you to do so with ease. So, to take you even deeper into the matter, here are the official channels that are airing every LA Dodgers game during this season:
MLB.tv
As an avid Dodgers fan, I’ve been streaming on MLB.tv for quite some time now. The service has taken Major League Baseball accessibility into a whole new level. You can literally watch every game without having to worry about missing a thing. That is of course if you don’t run into blackouts while streaming. I’ve explained what blackout restrictions are above and I’ll be giving you the proper solution for them in a few. For now, let’s dig deeper into MLB.tv.
First of all, you can watch every 2019 out-of-market regular season game live or on demand for a 29.99$ fee a month. You’ll also have the option to use the service for a whole year if you pay an amount of 118.99$. Now, this is very important for us Dodgers fans, there’s an option where you get to choose a subscription for a single team. That’ll cost you 91.99$ on a yearly basis. 
MLB.tv doesn’t fool around when it comes to platform compatibility. You can use the service on Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, iOS, Android, Chromecast, Android TV, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows PC, Mac, and Roku.
Now, to help you bypass MLB blackouts. It’s quite simple by the way. All you need to do is get a VPN and connect to a server in a region where the game is not being aired on TV. For example, if the match is not broadcasted in Michigan, a server there would be your perfect solution.
Here are the steps you can use to bypass LA Dodgers blackout restrictions:
- Sign up with a VPN service provider. I highly advise for ExpressVPN.
- Download and install the VPN application on your streaming device.
- Sign in with your VPN account and connect to a server where the game is not available on TV.
